If you're near a Nebraska Furniture Mart, they have been running a special where you can get the IPOD Shuffle for $29 if you buy something for $499 or more.
Though the fine print says the SINGLE ITEM has to be over $499, there are those who have spoken to customer service and convinced them to allow the deal if their total purchase adds up to $499.
FYI, NFM sells video games, Big-screen TV's, Appliances, etc. in addition to furniture. Located in Nebraska, Kansas City, and...I forget the other location
